This episode contains examples of:

• Early Installment Weirdness: The episode doesn't contain a couch gag, blackboard gag, or nearly anything established in the previous 2 episodes.
• Shout-Out: To the majority of war films.
  • Some music was directly lifted from Patton in reference. As Fox owned the rights to the soundtrack, there were no issues in using the music.
  • The marching sequence references Full Metal Jacket.
